Excerpt from Historical Introductions to the Rolls Series The publication of the historical portions of the late Bishop Stubbs' Introductions to certain volumes of the Rolls Series is due to the courtesy of the Controller of His Majesty's Stationery Office, who has given me permission to collect in one volume those investigations of Bishop Stubbs which are at present scattered among the numerous volumes of the Rolls Series. Historical students have for many years appreciated the subtle delineations of character and the invaluable suggestions and conclusions which are to be found in the Bishop's Introductions. The immense learning and the critical acumen which appear on every page of his work are too well known to need further mention. Everyone, indeed, who is interested in English History in the Middle Ages has recognised that in these Introductions may be found the clue to much that is difficult to compre hend no sounder guide to the times of Henry II., Richard I., John, Edward I. And Edward II. Has ever been written but, unfortunately, the volumes of the Rolls Series can as a rule only be consulted in some of our better equipped libraries.

The story behind the most iconic of cars, and the rich, powerful, and eccentric people who own them For generations, people the world over have been intrigued by the magic of the hand-built motor cars created by the world's most skilled craftsmen and women. Their workmanship and world-class engineering made Rolls-Royce the benchmark for quality and excellence, such that the supreme accolade for other products was to be described as the Rolls-Royce of. Ironically, the company that became the symbol of privilege and luxury was founded by a self-taught engineer, Frederick Henry Royce, son of a Lincolnshire farmer, who started working at age 10 to help his widowed mother make ends meet. Obsessed with perfection in every task, he proclaimed that nothing is ever right or good enough, yet he produced the finest motor cars the world had ever seen. Owners range from royalty and billionaires to Hollywood stars and the just plain rich. They share one aim--to own the very best.
